Joined May 2016
I was born in Cambridge on St. Valentine's Day 1959 and became seriously interested in films at the age of 12. My favourite eras are the early 30's and the early 60's. Having regularly consulted the IMDb for over ten years I belatedly started posting reviews of my own for two reasons:

1. Plenty of the movies I see are so obscure it eventually dawned upon me that I really ought to describe some of them for the benefit of other researchers.

2. Having hit the age of 60 I can tell that my recall of films I've just seen is developing a shorter and shorter half-life; and as mortality beckons feel that it will from now on be wise to set down any impressions worth recording fairly promptly.

    Coming towards the end of Basil Dearden's final international phase - reflected by the presence in the cast of Telly Savalas, Philippe Noiret and Curt Jurgens - this boisterous frolic reminiscent of the earlier 'The Wrong Box' employed a freewheeling style more characteristic of the time it was made than when it was set.

    Ten years after Leo McCarey made a vivid contribution to rabid early fifties anti-communist paranoia with 'My Son John' he returned to the theme with 'Satan Never Sleeps'; which marked the swansong of both McCarey and Clifton Webb.

    His drinking had by visibly blurred his once formidable talent; while anything resembling spectacle was plainly the work of the second unit. But on its own terms it's pretty memorable.
